GIL MOORE Marvels At TRIUMPH's 'Amazing' Renaissance Ahead Of First-Ever Tribute Album
Gil: "We've been in contact with Mike ever since we first met. Mike was like no other producer or engineer we ever worked with. He has a special place in my heart. To know Mike Clink is to love him. That's why he's been so successful. All the success with GUNS N' ROSES didn't go to his head—or any artist he's worked with. We were lucky when we met him, and he came into our world; he kind of rescued the record. We fired the producer. Mike took over the project. Otherwise, it would have fallen apart. This tribute is no different — we didn't fire anyone, but it would have fallen apart because of Covid if it wasn't for Mike. He jumped through so many hoops. Studios were closed. Musicians couldn't get it together because of the restrictions. Singers couldn't sing because of masks. A lot of guys would have said, 'Hey, we're going to have to park this until the pandemic is over. Not Mike. He persevered. It took him forever because it was one track at a time. Most of the work was done under horrible circumstances, but he's really the guy who can give confidence to musicians and singers that he's so good at what he does. There's a comfort zone for them. Of course, he worked at great studios in L.A. That's another thing. The people that he chooses are all the top people, whether they're musicians or engineers or studios. He just does it right."

Slash talks new music, making ‘Appetite for Destruction,’ Allman Bros influence
"Appetite for Destruction has a lot of Mike Clink on it with you knowing that it’s Mike Clink -- you know what I mean? It sounds like Guns N’ Roses, and Guns N’ Roses sounds great on that record, you know. That’s us playing but he really knew how to make it sound nice, like a good version of us.

And he knows how to get a f---ing guitar sound, too, which is dying art right now.

...the guy who could really capture this particular outfit and get these sounds as honest and pure and raw as I want them and make them sound good, is Mike Clink. And he did exactly that.

We recorded all the music live in the studio and with a minimal amount of takes. I mean, we had a couple of weeks of rehearsal to get the arrangements together, went in the studio and just played. And he captured it. He knows exactly how he wants to get the drums exactly how he wants to mike the guitars and just lets us play and makes it sound good.

Yeah, Mike Clink makes raw sound aerodynamic..."

Triumph
“Mike Clink is a very matter of fact record producer, he is like ‘we are going to start at this time and go to that time’ and he got to accomplish something everyday. Mike is a good sergeant at arms to keep a band in line and I think that is why he lasted so long with Guns N’ Roses because he was the guy who was able to keep the platoon marching forward, he had that talent."
